==Public, Public domain and Used with permission== ''New section to add to documentation. Feedback welcome.'' [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 10:18, August 13, 2019 (EDT)<br> Images or files freely accessible over the internet (e.g., not in any password protected, private or members only area) are sometimes thought of as being ''in the public domain''. This is not the same as being a [https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/public-domain/welcome/ ''public domain image''] image for copyright purposes, e.g. where the creator/author has explicitly stated that anyone can copy, change or share the content for any purpose at all (as long as they don't try to claim it's theirs), or where certain conditions are met for example the original copyright expired because the author/creator died over 100 years ago. This means that the vast majority of publicly available images and files are ''not public domain'' and should not be uploaded to MEpedia. ===Can public images by reused?=== If you wanted to reuse a 'public' image or file you would need to contact the author/creator and ask about a license, or ask for permission just for use on MEpedia. If a person grants permission only for MEpedia or only to you, you should [[Special:Upload|upload it]] and pick the [[Category:Images used with permission]] license option - remember to [[Help:Image#Displaying_the_copyright_license_on_the_article|display the author name and 'used with permission']] in the caption on any articles that use it. This may be useful for things like awareness images, proclamations or photos on Twitter - simply ask for permission to reuse here, and if it's granted then choose then '''Used with permission'''. Alternatively, the person might agree to a license allowing anyone to reuse it, or change it, eg [[Template:CC-by-sa-3.0]], which is the standard license for most MEpedia images and files. ===Re: Public, Public domain and Used with permission -- ~~~~=== : Replace this text with your reply
